Thanks for this info. It's way beyond my technical understanding (which is truely minimal!), but I think I get the idea. What would this look like as a series of commands? Or better yet, what's the "right" way to share data between FreeBSD -current/coming and linux in a dual boot situation? ... Which is the real objective, (not playing with e2fs! ;.-)

(I get "et hav" of ata unaligned access errors and lots of other garbage.)It always worked for me until block devices were axed. Apparently it still depends on random accesses to non-block boundaries and sizes working.It's easier to boot up a Gentoo LiveCD and "do it right".)Or upgrade to FreeBSD-3 to get unaxed block devices :->. The ext2fs utilites work on regular files (better than ffs ones), so they can be used (very slowly and with muttering about axes) directly under FreeBSD by copying partitions to regular files, fixing them there, and copying them back. This is least painful for mke2fs since you can start with a sparse file instead of a copy of a partition.
